2010 Draft Watch

I'm ok with Turner as long as there's a plan to get a quality Big.... if it requires moving BG then so be-it.

Won't happen, but your next sentence is very telling.

Think Stuckey will go into his contract year willing to be our backup PG/SG for the next 5 years?... we could just flat out lose him for nothing

Thank you. Stuckey is locked up at an honest price of 3.8M thru 2011-1012 (qualifying offer). Chances that is gone before then might happen, but he will give us good value, even coming off the bench until then.

We only have to move either Rip or Bengo and then we've got something special. Personally I'd love to see a future 3 guard rotation of Stuck, Bengo and Turner. Bynum will eventually be gone too (not this season though), but he's going to make a great piece of trade bait, maybe even enough to convince someone to take on Max or Rip's contract.

So...

Option #1 (if we get the #1 pick):

Wall, Stuckey, Gordon

Option #2 (if we DONT get the #1 pick)

Stuckey, Gordon, Turner

Wall is the no-brainer if we get the #1 pick. Truth be told, I haven't watched much of Evan Turner. I'll have to make a habit of watching more Ohio State games.

Option #3------Stuckey, Gordon, Wesley Johnson.

Turner is a triple double waiting to happen everynight, I'm a UofM Alum, so for me to acknowledge and actually hope to acquire a Suckeye should speak volumes, as much as I dislike the Suckeye's this kid can go.

We have to get this right, many teams improve their lineup when they get players contibuting at all-star levels while playing on a rookie contracts, it's what allows for the cap room to land free-agents. memphis has 4 players like that, OKC has 3 players, Port has 2. It's important that we keep JJ and Daye developing, so we can do the same.

Don't need a #1 pick, a top5 will bring the offers in, but to keep me from taking Wall, Turner or Wes Johnson, those offers would have to be sweeter than Southern Ice Tea.

But, Wall and Turner make an already available Rip, even more available, we can take pennies on the dollar.

Johnson makes AD or JJ available who can be packaged with Rip for a really sweet deal, and yes i think Wes Johnson is better than AD and JJ, although JJ does some stuff many players just won't or can't do.

It's good that we're playing those teams just as some of our guys are getting back. The team, not just the guys returning from injury but them too, will be out of sync. We can lose to those losers pretty easily. Then we'll still lose our fair share of games (most of them) against better competition.
